I had to share this with everyone, it deserves some major attention. I didn't create this, and it was already translated when I found it, so this is just to get it some notority. Unfortunately... I don't know who drew this, but they're awesome.

I feel I should point out that a Red, admittedly I'm not sure which, actually stated that there is no romantic affection between Leona and Pantheon.
However, that doesn't stop there from being friendly/familial affection. That's the vibe I got reading through the first part.
That'd be this red probably
Anywhoozle..
What interests me in this sort of story is a continuing theme that people seem to attach to. Leona, that she's sought after but never quite returning of the affections. In my eyes this stands pretty true with where I think we want to go with her. Pantheon might indeed have a deep love for her, something not obvious or overt written into the lore, but Leona is otherwise oblivious or, dunno the right word to use, "pure", to show interest.
I sort of view Leona in this odd puritanical nature, sort of "above it all" concerning mortal love affairs. That's not to say she's ambivalent, I think her Solari calling just tends to trump a lot of her emotions concerning romance, but the human urge can always be calling. Personally I like that because it causes tension with her, Diana and Pantheon. I can see some pretty cool stories coming out of that triangle. I can see alliances and other turns. I'd love to see if we can flesh it out more.
I like that people glom onto things we've been able to subtly plant or hint at. It can be hard to solidify story sometimes when you're dealing with this many main characters. I'm glad players can fill in the blanks which we try to leave room for.
Well while a red is replying...Is Riot planning on anything more for the lore? I hate the Journal of Justice got canceled.
That's really a question for the Creative Designers. I work with the department a lot but they have their own initiatives and timelines. I'm really not sure what they are enough to make an educated statement. I think what we saw with the Shadow Isles is a good indicator of what's to come, but there are indeed efforts to figuring out the best delivery mechanisms and cadences. I myself am not completely up on any larger plans, I can only comment on what I work on directly with them.
Leona + Pantheon
